Speciation and fractionation Guidelines
Phosphate and total phosphourus analysis
The student is expected to:
- Acquire experience of water sampling from various compartments through the watershed
- Understand the difference between total analysis, fractions and species
- Understand the concept of multiple simultaneous equilibriums
- Understand the basic principles of mobility and toxicity of chemical species
- Learn how to conduct an Al-fractionation and have experience from the analysis of major anions and cations
- Be able to run the MINEQL+ programme
- Relate to environmental monitoring data and to write a report where data are evaluated and interpreted.
- Understand how the Health Safety and Environment (HSE) regime is practiced at the Group of Environmental Analysis
